UCLA Health, Burbank, CA, Prostate Cancer Care
I am setting up an urology/oncology consult with UCLA Health likely at the Burbank location. I know there are many here in the UCLA system for prostate cancer care. Does anyone have any experience with care there? Any doctor recommendations? I posted previously about my post-prostatectomy PSA rise, which is why I am pursuing second opinions. I live in Phoenix, but Mayo does not take my insurance.

A good UCLA oncologist is
Dr. Matthew Rettig GU Oncologist
Not sure if he’s located where you want to go.
Thank you, Jeff. He is not on staff there, but at the Westwood location. I have an option to go there as well, just a slightly longer drive. Incidentally, it looks as if he works with closely with the local Los Angeles area VA, where I may also have an opportunity for care. I am still navigating possible treatment avenues. As I have seen here on the forum, working through post-initial treatment options (whether RARP or other) can be a bit of a frustrating experience, sometimes second guessing one’s choices when time is of the essence.
